New Favorites

{Vintage-looking necklace to add some serious sparkle}

I have never really been one for vintage clothing or jewelry, until very recently. I guess I just liked my things to look new (especially if they are new) and not like they have been through seven world wars. But I have noticed these past couple weeks I have been gravitating towards vintage-looking items, versus my normal bright, colorful modern style . . . and quite frankly, I love it. I think it is exactly what has been missing in my wardrobe; pieces that add a touch of time and character, plus they add a certain depth that modern pieces can't compete with.
Books have always been the exception, however, when it comes to vintage; I absolutely love old books and the more beat up, the better. And call me crazy if you want, but I love the smell of old books - I think there is just something nostalgic that takes me back to my grandma's house, looking through her old Reader's Digest book collection and watching Wheel of Fortune. We have been on a book buying kick lately, looking for cool old books to decorate with and to add to our exponentially growing book collection, that will someday be displayed. I will leave you for the weekend with some of my new vintage favorites and I look forward to hearing all about your weekend adventures!

{Polka dot midi-length skirt; the shape and color definitely have a more vintage feel.}

{Cocktail rings in more muted colors and materials make them look older than they are.}

{New shorts, now that summer is almost over! Love the vintage-looking lace!}
